Book excerpt: Sergeant Victor Lundy created 158 superb sketches which capture his experiences with the 26th Infantry Division in World War II. His days in training are well documented, as are the scenes of his embarkation and journey by convoy to Cherbourg on the coast of France. His unit was transported to the front via Red Ball Express and joined General Patton's 3rd Army as it fought for every hill and village, trying to drive the Germans from France. The exciting conclusion is a harrowing first-person narrative of the desperate battle for a tiny French village. There are few moments more consequential in combat than staring down the barrel of a Tiger Tank. Fortunately, Victor Lundy survived to tell his story.
